    Flower Pot Herbal Beer Bread - Makes a Simple and Fun Gift

    February 18, 2016 by Patti Estep 4 Comments

    Jump to Recipe

    This flower pot herbal beer bread is an easy and fun gift to create for a thank you, shower or housewarming gift.

     A flower pot with beer bread mix inside.

    We used to sell these at the herb shop as a gift kit, but you can easily make them yourself. All you need is a terracotta pot and ingredients for the bread.

    Flower Pot Herbal Beer Bread

    I'm using a quick beer bread recipe, because it is super easy and you can add any herbs that you like. Since I'm not a huge bread baker I can only guess that this would work with a number of bread recipes.

    Cover the hole with foil.

    If your pot has a hole in the bottom, cover it with a piece of foil. My husband really like the moistness of this beer bread, which has a muffin or biscuit like texture. Even though it doesn't have any preservatives, it held up in a plastic bag for several days. Maybe it's the beer?

    Grease pot with butter and place dough inside.

    Make sure you grease the pot with butter, so that the dough does not stick to the pot.

    Reuse the pot for more bread making or clean it up and use it in the garden.

    Give this as a gift by combining the flour and spices together in a bag, and place it in a clean pot, tied up with a bow. Add a tag telling the recipient to add beer, butter and fresh herbs or dried herbs in the flour mix.

    Remember when swapping dried herbs with fresh you should increase the amount by three. For example, 1 T of dried basil would equal 3 T of fresh.

    I could see this at a garden party with mini pots. One for each guest. Wouldn't that be fun!

    This is a fun idea where you can bake bread in a terracotta flower pot. Alternatively you can place the ingredients in a plastic bag along with a bottle of beer and add a bow to give as a gift.

      This would definitely make a great gift. What size flower pot was used? Also, if you used mini pots, what size and baking time?

        Connie, I believe I used an 8-inch pot. I've never tried mini pots but I would expect them to cook faster. You could just keep an eye on them. Maybe start with 15 minutes and check them. Good luck and let me know how they turn out.

        Thanks Karen!
        I think so and it's easy to make. I'm not a big baker but have to wonder how a more traditional bread recipe would come out.
        Thanks for stopping by,
